Smart Pill Bottle receives the Good Design Award 2016
Personal medical device leveraging "Internet of Things" technologies to address medication adherence.
Intelligent Product Solutions (IPS) and AdhereTech have announced that the Smart Pill Bottle received the prestigious Good Design Award 2016. The Good Design award is the world's oldest prize dedicated to the most innovative and cutting-edge industrial products and graphic designs produced around the world.
For the 2016 edition of the Good Design award, the jury evaluated more than 900 candidates from 46 countries, with products spanning a range of sectors, from electronics to robotics, from furnishing to graphics and vehicles.
The AdhereTech Smart Pill Bottle, designed by IPS and AdhereTech, is a personal medical device leveraging "Internet of Things" technologies to address a major problem in the healthcare sector - medication adherence. With the high cost of medication and the health risks of straying from a dosage schedule, patient adherence is paramount to successful care. The AdhereTech Smart Pill Bottle is currently used by leading pharmaceutical companies and pharmacies across the globe.
"We are thrilled that the AdhereTech Smart Pill Bottle was recognized by the Good Design award for its excellence in design, and are very proud of our design work on it," said Mitch Maiman, cofounder and President of IPS. "At IPS, we pride ourselves on our best-in-class design and development of products, and this award further validates our leadership in design."
